What you'll learn
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
Analyze the clinical evidence, mechanisms of action, and safety profiles for commonly used herbal supplements, focusing on their potential for significant drug-herb interactions and organ toxicity.
Evaluate high-risk prescribing scenarios, including perioperative planning, oncology/transplant care, and management of special populations, to formulate appropriate safety and monitoring plans for patients using herbal supplements.
Demonstrate an evidence-based, patient-centered approach to counseling patients on herbal supplement use by utilizing shared decision-making and integrated documentation tools to promote patient safety and autonomy.
Course description
The widespread use of herbal supplements by patients represents a critical component of modern healthcare, offering healthcare professionals a unique opportunity to apply a whole-person, patient-centered approach. This course offers an evidence-based examination of commonly used herbal products, focusing on clinical pharmacology, safety data, and high-risk prescribing scenarios. It equips clinicians with the skills to guide patients in making safe, informed, and effective decisions within an evolving integrative medicine landscape.
A significant practice gap exists for many healthcare professionals due to a lack of formal training in herbal pharmacology, drug-herb interactions, and the complexities of the dietary supplement regulatory landscape (DSHEA). This knowledge deficit can lead to an inability to identify high-risk clinical situations. This course closes that gap by providing the in-depth clinical knowledge required to expertly screen for, evaluate, and manage patient use of herbal supplements, thereby improving patient safety and realizing the commitment to whole-person care.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
